Cycling at Yosemite National Park - Information

Bicycling is permitted on bike tracks and public roads only. Riding across meadows, through forests or on hiking trails is prohibited by park regulation. Off-trail riding is dangerous, damages vegetation and can injure wildlife. With the steep incline of the hill to Mirror Lake and the trail to Lower Yosemite Falls, and because many pedestrians walk on these routes, rental bicycles are not allowed. Cyclists are asked to park their bikes at the bottom of these hills and walk to the lake or to the falls due to these hazards.
